Sharpening is defined as the process of erecting a blunt blade with the help of a sharpening steel. If a knife is already blunt it has to be grinded in order to be sharp again.

The middle fine cut is used for a minor abrasion on from the blade and to obtain a fine edge. Due to an extremely fine cut, the sharpened edge is smoother whilst material removal. This leads to a long preservation of a very sharp edge.

Professionals and budding chefs alike swear by sharpening steels. All models have an extremely hard-wearing coating, good grip and very good sharpening properties. For everyday household use, on the other hand, we recommend the knife sharpeners. Thanks to their ingenious design, they are safe and easy to use.
